Making it to 34 weeks has been great--the bebes are now in good shape even if they are born early and continue to be big and healthy. Being 34 weeks pregnant, however, has come with some physical challenges. A few weeks ago, I'd walk by a group of strangers or nurses from the doctor's office and they'd greet me with a smile. They'd comment on how healthy I was looking and how cute and round my belly was. Those times are over. At my last OB appointment, my OB measured my belly, looked up at me and said "Oh you poor thing!".

I'm feeling more and more like a beached whale and can no longer control all the swelling in my (I was going to say feet here, but it's more like my whole body!). I'm amazed at my body's ability to hold all of this bebe. I'm so happy the OB moved the birth up to week 36, I can't imagine another 4-6 weeks in this condition!
